Kag POV:

At 5:00, it was time for me to go to the airport, and I already had my things packed. I knew I would be at least thirty minutes early, but I wanted out of this city as fast as possible.

I called Sango and left a voice mail, which detailed everything.

Over the course of the few hours that I was in the hotel suite, I noticed several calls from Sesshomaru and the Takahashi house. I didn't bother to answer any; I needed my space right now.

Sess POV:

When I was midway over California I called Kagome again; no response. I had a feeling that she wouldn't answer.

On my flight, there were only seven other passengers, and when I switched airplanes in Hawaii I would be flying myself. I enjoyed flying the airplanes, it was a good distraction.

I preyed to whatever God may be up there that none of my enemies would get their hands on her before she would arrive home.

The last I talked to Miroku he said that his informant had told him that she had a one way ticket on a private jet to an airport very close to her house, so I assumed that was where she was going. I knew it would be around three in the morning by the time that I would reach her, but I had to talk to her as soon as possible.

Kag POV:

My flight was short, and when I arrived home it was close to 8:00. I grabbed a bite to eat from the kitchen, and Sango called me as I was headed up to my bedroom.

"Kagome?!"

"Yes, it is me."

"Are you okay? Should I tell your dad? Did you make it home alright? Is the alarm system activated? You need to call one of the body guards."

"I am fine, please don't tell him, I made it home safe, the alarm is on, and I already called Yuki."

"What exactly happened?"

I told her exactly all what had happened, and finished, "and he gave me this weird look when I asked him if this had happened before or anything of that nature. Then I flipped out and left, and you know the rest."

"Oh Kagome… Do you want me to come home sooner? I can, it wouldn't be that big of a deal."

"No, Sango, you only get to see your family once every two months. You stay and have a good time, I promise I will keep you updated."

"Pinkie swear?"

"Pinkie swear."

"Have you talked to Sesshomaru yet?"

"No, and I don't plan to until tomorrow. I don't think I could face him anyways. Good thing he is halfway around the world."

"Miroku probably already told him what happened. If he has called you a gillion times, I wouldn't be surprised if he was on his way there right now."

"I doubt it. I can't believe that he would leave me there with that creep and not say anything at all."

"I knew there was something wrong with that family… its no wonder Sesshomaru isn't married yet. He and his father have been harboring that rapist."

"He isn't technically a rapist, well he might be, but not to me. A sicko for sure."

"Whatever he is… you don't need to be around him. If you want to date Sesshomaru, that is fine, but I think you should do it away from that house or anywhere where Inuyasha might be close by."

"True. I have to go to bed, it is very late. Night Sanno."

"Night Kags."

I changed into my favorite old nightgown, which belonged to my mother. It had been washed so many times over the years that it was practically transparent, but I didn't care.

I cried myself to sleep, and wished with all of my might that she were still here.

….

Sess POV:

I got off my plane and unloaded my suitcase at three in the morning, there had been a delay in Honolulu with my aircraft.

I took a rental car straight to Kagome's house, and let myself in. The body guard outside didn't even notice me park around the corner, let alone when I unlocked the back door with my fingernails and let myself inside.

….

Kag POV:

I stirred from a noise, and rolled over. I was comfortable, and I would let Yuki handle anything that was disturbing our property.

"Kagome?" I stirred again.

"Kagome?" I sat up. Was there seriously someone in my room? I took a second to wake up, and then I realized that there was a stranger in my room who had gotten passed my body guard.

I jumped out of bed to get my gun from my safety box from the dresser, and a light switched on.

Gold eyes and white hair met me. I panicked.
